Board Team Development

The objectives of the Board Team Development service are to ensure quality professional development opportunities for board members. This is accomplished by working with boards in onsite training seminars, regional workshops and a series of statewide professional development conferences. In late 2006, this service merged with the Student Support and School Safety Service to include all assistance previously provided by both units.
